Chowa Town Furumachi Toyoke Grand Shrine Festival "Otaya Festival" In the festival, each district Dedication a "festival float" that expresses a scene from an old tale, legend, or historical story. The theme changes every year, and each year is expressed almost in full size using handmade dolls. Although it is called a "festival float", it is not something that is towed or carried as is commonly imagined, but a "decorative mountain" that is created on five stages around the shrine. It assimilates with the surrounding scenery and makes you feel as if you have entered the story. This year (2025), there are five venues: "Bunfuku Chagama Tightrope Walking", "Doseiji Temple: The Maiden Who Became a Great Serpent", "The Legend of the Nine-Tailed Fox (Tamamo-mae)", "Chushinzo Defeated", and "Komon Gang Traveling on Shinano Road". Held in on January 14 and 15 every year, the shrine holds a reinforcing festival, a Urayasu dance dedication, and a dedication performance of the Yanaga and Fudo Drums. Stalls are lined up around the shrine, and fireworks are set off at night.

Samurai Armor experience Samurai fought fair and square in one-on-one battles, which was the samurai way of fighting. During this time, it was not acceptable for the adversary to initiate a fight. If they did, they were considered "cowards.

The practice of swordsmanship was intended above all to nurture the mind. The samurai, through diligent practice and extreme concentration, desired to attain a state of unthoughtfulness, free of attachment or preoccupation, and thus able to respond instantly. A warrior is prepared to die each morning. In the quiet moments of the morning, he imagines himself being struck by lightning, doused by fire, or cut to pieces with a sword or spear. It is hard to remember that one step outside the doorway is the world of death. #Honor #Bushido #samuraisword #katana
